1. وبَيني وبينَ المُستقلّةِ بالنّوى

    دمُوعي ونورٌ ساطعٌ تحتَ بُرقُعِ

    And between me and her who departs into the distance

    Are my tears and a light shining beneath a face veil.

  2. كأن دمُوعي حاسدتني فلم تَدع

    لواحظَ عَيني أن تُودّعها معي

    As though my tears envied me, and so did not let

    The glances of my eye bid her farewell with me.
